Women's Volleyball Adds Trio to 2025 Roster

­HONOLULU — University of Hawai'i women's volleyball head coach Robyn Ah Mow announced the additions of three newcomers to the Rainbow Wahine roster for the 2025 season — outside hitter Ravyn Dash, middle blocker Makena Biondi and libero/defensive specialist Kāhea Moriwaki.
 
"We are looking forward to Ravyn, Makena and Kahea joining the program this coming fall," Ah Mow said. "All three will add to the depth and competitive culture in our gym." 
 
Dash, a 6-foot sophomore, joins the Rainbow Wahine after playing for Houston Christian in 2024. She played in 74 sets over 22 matches and started eight matches as a freshman with the Huskies. She posted 171 kills, averaging 2.31 per set, and was in on 35 total blocks. She put away a season-high 21 kills on 38 attempts to hit .395 in a five-set win over Lamar and had 16 kills in another five-set duel with Texas Tech.
 
Originally from Benbrook, Texas, Dash joined the 1,000-­kill club at Benbrook Middle-High School while earning district MVP honors in three seasons. She also earned Academic All-State honors during her prep career.
 
Biondi joins the Rainbow Wahine from Agoura High School in Agoura Hills, Calif. The 6-foot-5 middle ranks among the program's tallest recruits in program history and an all-league selection last season after posting 132 kills and 53 blocks as a senior. Her father, Matt Biondi, is an 11-time Olympic swimming medalist, including eight golds, and is a member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame and U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame.
 
Moriwaki, a 5-foot-3 libero, helped Punahou School reach the Hawai'i High School Athletic Association Division I final in 2023 and posted 37 digs over four matches in the state tournament. She closed out her high school career with a 26-dig performance and was an All-Interscholastic League of Honolulu and Honolulu Star-Advertiser All-State honorable mention pick in 2024.
 
The trio join an incoming class that includes three transfers (middle blocker Bri Gunderson, setter Audrey Hollis, and defensive specialist Leilani Lopez) and a freshman (outside hitter Cha'lei Reid) who enrolled at UH in January and took part in the team's spring practices.
